There are dozens of burger joints in San Clemente. Some of them are good… but the best burger in San Clemente for two years in a row has to be eaten at the Riders Club Café. Choose your meat, all natural beef – ground in house, or their very own house-made veggie burger. Try a tender chicken burger or even a Portobello mushroom burger. Both Carnivores and Vegans alike vote Riders Club burger the best!
All burgers are served on a freshly baked Challah bun and dressed with lettuce, pickle, grilled or raw onions and their very own house spread. Texture and taste make this a great meal with freshly made kettle chips… and beets are available upon request.
Cheese lovers can add: cheddar, Muenster, Swiss, Havarti, blue cheese and even their very own goat cheese spread. And there is something extra available for every taste, you can add bacon, grilled mushrooms, roasted chili peppers, avocado and even a poached egg… yes a “poached egg” when you are looking for that extra rich taste of comfort food or if you are in the mood for a late night breakfast burger.

And the accolades for Riders Club’s burger reaches even further than Orange County. CBS News in Los Angeles puts the burger at the Riders Club Café on their Top List of Best Burgers in Orange County. They report this new burger on the block as having some “serious staying power” with the eggy challah bun, house-made pickles and choice toppings.

You can enjoy your primo, made to order custom burger with spectacular beers including Belgium Beer, and an assortment of Ale. With many great beers on tap, The Riders Club has a beverage for everyone including: wine, soda, a Route 66 root beer and fresh squeezed lemonade. The service is efficient and fun!
But the burger is not the only sandwich in the joint. OC Weekly boasts about the Carnitas stating,“the second-best sandwich at Riders Club is grand and epic on its own scale, with fistfuls of roasted pork fallen into shreds both crispy and moist; it’s so good it’s worthy of a lonchersa. And because of the fresh jalapenos, cilantro and shredded carrots, it also proved the Mexican tora and the Vietnamese bánh mì can sire an offspring with all of its flavors living harmoniously under a bun."
